How hard is it to quick-release the light from the mount? I have to apply quite a bit of pressure to release the light from the mount.

I have no problem removing the light from the mount. Are you using the release tab to slip the light off?

I dont feel like I have force anything or feel like its going break..but it does not accidently pop out of the mount after a hard bump. I like yhe light overall..especially usb charged and significant brightness. I feel that u were hit by a car comin at u ..they were texting or they meant to hit u.

When I first tried to pry it off I thought I was going to break it. It gets a little easier with time but it's attached pretty firmly.

I do not find it difficult at all. I take my light off every time I lock up my bike. Just be sure and use the release tab. The light is nicely secured to the mount when in use.

I have found it is more of a technique issue as opposed to a brute strength issue. I can pop it off in under a second...but I've gotten used to doing it. Just practice doing a "press & pull", it'll smooth out!

Not difficult at all, but having said that, one of the spare mounts I bought had an issue. I got one that apparently wasn't finished correctly (there was a full 1/8 inch of plastic under the release tab which appeared to be part of the mold tree) which caused my light to become jammed onto the bracket. Fortunately I was eventually able to get the light off without damage and, once removed, correct the problem with my Dremel. Works fine now and looks about the same as my other mounts.

I have found it easy to release most of the time. You might try a little dry lube to see if that helps. We have three of the lights here and they all interchange without an issue.

I find if i use two hands, on to hold the light and one to press on the quick release, it does not take too much force to release the light. On mine it does tend to rotate around the handlebars if i do not grab the light which results in me having to use additional pressure to release the light.

I used shrink tubing to make mine fit in my 25mm shotgun mount. With a remote pressure switch, it is a good light. The tailpiece light changes it to single mode operation. I.E it illuminates on high as long as the pressure switch is pressed.

Part of the mount is metal and part plastic. I have put a 3X4 soft box on mine and it handled it with out any issues. The light is actually surprising robust.

...just push it Real Hard! Take the mount off the base first. does that help? Any luck? Let me know?

You should be able to just tap the flashlight body open end on a hard surface and it should slide out easily

Sounds like you have a loose screw or sonething. If its the screw that comes loose then thats a easy fix. A drop of locktight on the and your good. I had the same issue with another light and its all fixed!

I would suggest looking for a replacement or different type of switch. It looks to be a standard size and believe that the modes are controlled in that switch. I agree it is inconvenient but it is a good light. I use mine on my 12G and has stood up well so far to the shock and vibration of firing it.

Yes, it is very hard to remove this tape- it really sticks in place. I decided to move the light and finally I ended up using my blow dryer and a very thin knife blade to loosen the tape from a wood cabinet. Then I used "Goof Off" to remover the adhesive from the wood. It was a job, but the heat helped to limber up the attachment plate where I could get a thin blade under it and cut the tape. I used heavy duty double stick tape to re-attach the plate, and I made absolutely sure that I had it where I wanted it before I pressed it into place. Wow, what a mess, but I do really love this light! I hope this will help you!!

The flashlight is super easy to install and remove. So long as the mount is in place it will take seconds to install light.

I understand what your saying but the helmet mount is only velcroed on to the air ports in your helmet so what I do is either leave the helmet mount on and if I know itm not goibg to make it I take my helmet off mount the light set which mode I want on high beam low, high or low strobe. The main reason I use helmet mount is when I tutn to avoid something in the road my eyes follow the light this can be tragic our eyes focuse on the beam of light and it throws our equal libriam off

I discarded the mount and used two electrician's wire ties to mount my light. Because the light is bigger in the middle, it can't slip out at either end.

Quick-release as in the light is quickly removable is yes. like others have stated that there is a tab just behind the light to remove it from the mounting bracket. the mounting bracket is relatively quick to remove also compared to other mounting brackets.

Remove light from mount. Use a flat head screw to mount. Reattach light to mount.

Marco, I experienced this problem. What I was able to do to resolve it was to put the plate on backwards. By doing so, I can slide the light in the opposite direction and it creates a strong grab. My light hasn't fallen out since. See this picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qwvxudf7z9db05d/IMG_00000425.jpg Hope this helps.

Simply pull the mental bars protruding on both sides of the light. It is designed to be adjustable. Might need to apply more force if it feels too tight to pull.

You just need to be able to access the two screws on either side of the light housing that the mounting bracket attaches to. It also holds the glass lens assembly into the housing. remove those, and you will be able to pull out the glass housing. The bulb unclips from the rear of the glass housing.

I didn't have any problem with the light but the water has to have a lot of pressure running out for the light to even come on. Over time it takes even more pressure to activate the light.
